Once you got the Transporter, you shall better use AES3 than S/PDIF, but
note that you need DAC in 5000$ range to beat the Transporter (which is
still, questionable)

Not necessarily. See previous posts on this subject (AES/EBU vs. S/PDIF)

WHy all the trouble ? just use different digital cables ..A cable can be
modeled as a RC network.

Yeah Andy, why go to all the trouble of setting up a controlled
experiment with conditions that you can precisely manipulate and take
to the necessary limits, when

+1 on Robin's comment. In this specific case I can add that I plan to
use coax over BNC and that the

'My Transporter Setup'
Don't get me wrong I love my Transporter.
But it's had the over voltage problem since I bought it (couple years
now) and it's a simple firmware bug that has not been fixed.
I would not buy one today unless this bug was fixed.
It does not happen often, but would you buy a car that just quits on
I was asked this week for some comments via bugzilla for this specific
bug, there is a hope it will be fixed (for 7.6?)

coax over BNC is BNC

btw, I did hear the difference between SB3 and Transporter...
Flat sound of SB3 was the reason it migrated to the bedroom and I got

They are both absolutely 100% bit perfect (TosLink and Coax, Wifi and

Only difference may be jitter. But as dicussed elsewhere a good DAC
will take care of that.

differences in construction of SB3, Touch and Transporter.
Yes construction is different. most of Transporter's construction is
for beefing up it's analog section.

But the digital section has certainly not been neglected, at least c.f.

I'm chilled, honestly. My (admittedly sarcastic) point was that Andy's
methodical approach, which will likely teach him and a few of us about
the audible effects of jitter, is likely to be more useful to everyone
else than his opinions about the

And the menu items are all scattered randomly in the Home Menu item
